Now, Govt Arts College to observe Bhagat Singh’s death anniversary

Coimbatore: Months after suspending a History student for commemorating the birth anniversary of freedom fighter Bhagat Singh, the Government Arts and Science College has decided to honour the freedom fighter on his death anniversary, which falls on March 23.
“To inculcate patriotism in students and to make them understand the sacrifices made by our freedom fighters, the History department has decided to organize a function on the death anniversary of the fighter. All the History department students and faculties will participate in the function,” a professor said.

Hinting that they will be remembering all freedom fighters on the day, the professor said that they have received good support for the programme from the students.

The students welcomed the decision. “All other leaders should also be remembered and such events should not be restricted,” Students’ Federation of India activist Dinesh Raja said.

S Malathi, a I year MA (History) student, was suspended from the college on October 1 for celebrating the birth anniversary of Singh along with other students inside the college premises on September 28.

The college had blamed her for “disturbing the peaceful atmosphere by conducting a meeting in the college premises without permission.”

Almost 22 days after the suspension order was issued, a panel was formed to inquiry the issue and the suspension was revoked on October 26.
